💧Just add one drop of VEO 3 inspiration! I took a break from my usual content today to solve a mystery that’s been filling my feed.  I kept seeing these incredible AI videos of a world growing out of sand, but no one was sharing the magic ingredient: the prompt. I was curious to see if I could recreate it myself using Google VEO 3. It took a few tries to get the wording right, and wasted some AI credits, but I finally cracked it.  The prompt is surprisingly detailed. The main challenge was getting the text on the sign to render correctly, but the overall result is fantastic. For anyone else who wants to experiment, here is the prompt:  Prompt: A top-down shot of a white dish filled with dry, light-colored sand. A clear pipette slowly drips blue liquid into the center of the sand, and as the liquid spreads, a miniature Minecraft landscape with trees, cows, a pond, and a tiny signboard printed "Adrian Video Image" rapidly grows out of the sand. Use soft, even lighting and ...

 😲 That VEO 3 AI Supergirl Reveal... Here's my content strategy in a nutshell: Double down on what works. My " Tiger Morphing Woman " video is still the most popular on my YouTube channel. With all the buzz around the new Superman movie, I decided to revisit that successful formula.  I created a new AI video of a Singaporean woman morphing into Supergirl in a food court. The goal is to get eyeballs, but I also added a practical branding lesson. I snuck my brand name, "Adrian Video Image," onto a stall in the background. Now, even if someone downloads and shares the video, my brand travels with it. If you are experimenting with Google's VEO AI, here’s a quick prompting tip from my experience. I used this simple format:  - Subject/Action/Environment/Dialog I left out technical details like camera setup because VEO 3 defaults to a realistic style and adjusts the camera based on the story. While more detail gives you more control, this simple approach works wel...

👌They don't know my professional video setup is just my phone and this one gadget!  Creating videos for your business doesn't require a complicated or expensive setup.  I've been testing a tool that handles this well: the WONEW Z2. It’s a 3-in-1 device that functions as a stable camera grip, a selfie stick, and a tripod.  Here’s how it helps in a business context: ✅️ Fast Setup: The magnetic mount lets you attach your phone in seconds. This is efficient when you need to record something quickly. ✅️ Stable Video: The tripod function is essential for steady video calls, webinars, or hands-free product demonstrations. ✅️ On-the-Go Filming: As a grip, it provides stability for recording on-site videos, office tours, or quick social media updates. ✅️ Solo Operation: It includes a detachable Bluetooth remote. This allows you to start and stop recording yourself, perfect for solo presentations or announcements. The device is well-built and everything clicks into place without n...

 ☁️ What happens when you ask Google's Flow + VEO 2 AI to make you fly like Superman? I gave it a selfie and a simple prompt: "Make this man fly up into the sky." The video it generated is attached – it’s pretty realistic with all that wind in my hair, though you’ll catch a glitch where my arm disappears for a split second. There’s a reason for this experiment. It's a "double down" on a recent "Fly like Superman" tutorial I did, and it taps into the current movie buzz. It’s a quick way to create relevant content.  Here was my main strategic thought today, though: I almost ended this post by offering a link to free AI video tools. I removed the word "FREE".  Why? Because I'm focusing more on the audience that gets it—the ones who know that investing in solid tools is essential for business growth. My goal is to explore the tools that deliver real results.  That's my creative solopreneur thought for the day. What are your thoughts o...

Here is an exciting creative experiment — one that’s pushing the boundaries of storytelling and content creation!  I’ve been playing with HaiLuo AI, an innovative AI video generator, to bring a dream-inspired narrative to life. Here’s a glimpse into the process and what it means for the future of content creation.   Using HaiLuo AI, I created a series of 5-second video clips, stitching them together with CapCut to craft a surreal, dreamlike sequence with myself as the main character. The result? A visually captivating story that unfolded without ever picking up a camera, setting up props, or diving into complex animation workflows.  However, the journey wasn’t without its challenges. As the sequence progressed, I noticed the generated videos started to lose consistency—my face morphed into someone else’s (twice!), and the final scene didn’t quite hit the mark. While I could’ve refined it further, I was mindful of my 500 free AI credits and chose to preserve them....

My old "flying like Superman" CapCut video editing tutorial used to be my most popular video, all about creative editing to achieve that effect.  Fast forward to today, and with AI video, you can actually make yourself soar into the sky with zero acting or complex editing!  Check out how simple it is using the HaiLuo AI Video app:  * Open the app.  * Choose Image to Video Generator.  * Upload a photo of yourself.  * Prompt: "Make this person fly up into the sky."  * Tap Create Video. Want to try this out? Comment "free AI guide" and I'll DM you the link!  It's incredible how quickly technology is evolving.  What do you think – cool creative tool or does it take away from the "magic" of traditional filmmaking?  ~ Adrian Lee @adrianvideoimage #aivideo #videoediting #smartphonevideo #contentcreation #futureofvideo

Ever get blocked by an AI video generator for using a celebrity's name? It's a common frustration. During my TikTok live stream this morning, a viewer asked how to get around this. So, I ran a live demo.  I shared a workaround I've been testing: leveraging prompt engineering across different AI platforms.  In the live, I used Meta AI to craft and refine prompts to generate celebrity faces. We tried a few, like Tom Cruise and Michael Jordan, but the Chris Hemsworth result really stood out.  The result was so compelling that I decided to port the winning AI video prompt over to Google VEO 3, knowing it would cost some AI credits.  The outcome was mind-blowing. You can see the VEO 3 AI video generated below.  Beyond just a fun experiment, this touches on a key skill for modern creators: creative problem-solving. AI tools have built-in limitations. The real magic happens when you understand how to talk to them—iterating on prompts and even using one AI's output to g...
